About Us
Our core expertise lies in the field of atmospheric physics. Methods from climate science are employed for the temporal and spatial characterization of solar radiation. This includes the use of satellite-based observation of clouds and aerosols, as well as numerical models of radiation transport through the atmosphere. Successful solar engineering requires a technology-specific approach to solar resource assessment - considering different sensitivities to atmospheric constituents - and insight into what is important for each type of solar technology. Atmospheric processes are complex and elusive by nature, yet, these challenges can be answered by scientific analysis creating confidence in the command of solar technology.
